Blinded

Cannot see: -4 attack, lose DEX to AC, sight checks auto-fail, foes concealed.

A blinded character has lost all sight -- flashbanged, eye-seared by a welder's arc, dropped into pitch dark, or splashed with a blinding chem. They fight blind: -4 on attack rolls and on sight-based skill checks, they automatically fail any check that requires vision, they lose their Dexterity bonus to AC (treated as flat-footed), and every opponent counts as concealed, gaining +2 on attack rolls against them. Onset is resisted with a Fortitude save against the source's DC; success negates the condition entirely.
